Loving that photo Richmars....but could you explain what the hell is going on there?!
I've been staring at it for a while and need you to explain the wheel size, frame geometry etc to me!....the only way it makes sense to me is if you're about 8ft tall....

This was in the 90's when triathletes used 650C wheels. (Not sure why, just to be different?). The frame was custom made for me by Roberts.
The race was a duathlon, total of 26 miles running and 112 miles on bike.
Oh go on then:
